Investigation into Canada's New Brunswick brain syndrome is being blocked by the province, whose claims that the syndrome is various existing diseases have been debunked by federal experts, who suggest that the provincial government controlled by its forestry industry is blocking the investigation to retain tourism and industry.

I'm really glad this is getting proper media attention. This has been going on for a while and I haven't seen much outside of small blips in Canadian media until now.
Investigative journalists need to look into this. Oh wait, there aren't any left because evil corporations own 90% of the media outlets now.
Canadaland has been covering this. They are independent journalists and it's important to support this type of reporting.
Good to hear they exist, thanks for letting me know!
this is investigative journalism
Investigate Journalists still exist, they are just bloggers who tell us to do our own research.
It sucks. I'd much rather the nameless investigative journalist have the reputation of an established (and importantly, trusted) press agency standing behind them.
Investigative journalism, nowadays, is useless unless it comes from a highly trusted individual, or with the backing of a trusted entity. And that's not what we have these days. We have borderline propaganda produced by idiots who have no concept of context and barely any real understanding of the topic they are trying to convey in the first place.
Oh, and Opinion columns presented as fact. We have those too.
